Excited because you received an interest in one of your domain names? Don’t be if it looks like the one below, it’s a scam.

Here is how I suspect it works:

The low life looking to make money from unsuspecting people contacts the three companies below, we’ll call him Affiliate Dog.

Affiliate Dog contacts these domain appraisal companies and works out a deal where he can increase the number of appraisals they receive. They would then negotiate a percentage of each referral. Here is a list of prices charged for this service:

Sedo.com charges anywhere from $29 to $49 per domain appraisal.

Pedma.com is now shut down (see more about this below), but it was charging $22.95

Accuratedomains.com charges anywhere from $27 to $87 for each appraisal.

With the deal in hand, they then obtain a massive list of domain names and associated owner information (easy to do) and tell the domain appraisal companies that anyone obtaining an appraisal for any of the follow domains (from their massive list) is a referral. The appraisal companies agree and the scam starts.

Affiliate Dog then sends out an email to the owner of each website on the list, here is a copy of the email I received:

Hello,

I came across your domain name [snip] and I would be interested in buying it from you.

Here is my offer, you have to send me a professional appraisal from one of the following companies. and I will pay you 85% of the appraised price.

For payments under $2000 I prefer to use paypal. And for larger amounts of money I prefer if we used escrow.com

I accept appraisals from any of these companies:

– sedo.com
– pedma.com
– accuratedomains.com

If you already have an appraisal from one of those companies please forward it to me, and we will do business.

Regards,
James Johnson

The excited website owners then go to one of these domain appraisal services and get their website appraised. They then forward that to the Affiliate Dog and he chalks up another referral. Now that I think of it, he may use your appraisal as proof that he referred you.

Of course, you’ll never hear back after you submit your information.

I took a look at each of the websites and sedo.com is the only site I have heard of before. When I visited Pedma.com, I received the standard parked page meaning the site was taken down. Here is what the site claimed (from cache):

Welcome to Pedma Domain Appraisals,

Your number one stop to get the most accurate domain appraisals on the web!

We are so confident in our service, that we are able to offer you the industry leading guarantee.

“If you aren’t able to sell your domain for the appraised price within 6 months we will either refund you your money, or buy the domain ourselves! It’s your choice!”

How are we able to offer such a great guarantee?

Because we have over 70% of our customers sell their domain name in less than 6 months. So we know our research and analytics are working.

Why should you get a professional domain name appraisal?

* So you don’t end up losing potentially $1000’s of dollars underselling your domain below the market value.
* So you don’t try to oversell your domain and waist time and money on auctions and advertising.
* So you have a professional domain appraisal when you try to sell your domain. Having a trusted domain appraisal makes selling your domain that much easier!

After you make your first purchase we will email you your Pedma Account log in information. Once you are logged in you will find all your domain appraisals neatly organized (including appraisal reports, and appraisal banners). We make it easy to keep track of all your appraisals!

Another idea on the scam could be that Affiliate Dog didn’t contact all the domain appraisal companies in the email, but instead created pedma.com, made the price for appraisals lower than the rest and was simply sending people to his own domain.

I’ve read that pedma.com was shut down by hostgator.com and leads me to suspect the worst – that being, appraisals purchased at pedma.com were never delivered or were inaccurate and automated.

Whatever the take is on the domain appraisals, it is not good. What I’ve mentioned above is my view and may not reflect what is really happening – but it’s my best guess, so be careful!

If I were you, I would search Google for the term “name-experts.com Scam” and see what comes up. If you ever question a site, just google it with scam at the end and see what comes up. You’ll be surprised!

I want to inquire about name-experts.com.The opt in e mail list that costs 199 euro.It claims that they have 12000 potential domain buyer list and on the home page claim that
Domains listed in July,2012: 5,158
Domains sold in July,2012: 3,264
Average sale price: $ 3,905 .Is this company okay to deal with?

I have several quality domain names in my portfolio and haven’t heard of this scam before but after doing my research about appraisal scams I have found that this is very upsetting for serious domain sellers.

Hello,

We want to purchase your domain.

Our company is in hosting and domain name business.

Please email us your desired price in USD or euros for the domain name in the subject line.

If you have other names for sale please email us your domains with prices.

Looking forward to doing business with you.

If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% – 15% discount.
After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we’ll continue our negotiations.
What is your preferred payment method: Escrow, com, International wire transfer, PayPal, com or something else?
Hope we can come to an agreement fast.
Looking forward to your reply.

Dear Daniel,

Can you accept 50,000 USD?

Our client has a 90,000 USD budget for several names. Have you had your domain names evaluated by certified valuation experts in the past? Even if your domain has no web site it’s possible to appraise it. Without a valuation certificate our client cannot be sure in the sale price. Moreover, our accountant and tax services always ask for valaution certificates. On the other side, it’s very important for him in terms of reselling too. Of course, we must engage an independent valuation company with a real manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources our client trust. We don’t have certified experts in domain valuations and use independent reliable companies for appraisals.

Hi, tanks for this excellent post, i also have received this scam for one of my domains, and have hopefully read your page before asking for valuations. I hope that this page will stay on top when searching for : domain name valuation certificate

This is what I received today. Since it’s a crappy domain i bought for 10 bucks was too good to be true :

**
I have a client that is interested in buying. Please email us your price.

My client can offer you a good price for this domain name US dollars. We can also pay all escrow fees.

Can you accept 15,000 usd?

Our client has a 50,000 usd budget for several names.

But without a valuation certificate our client cannot be sure in the sale price. Moreover, our accountant and tax services always ask for valaution certificates. On the other side, it’s very important for us in terms of brokerage. As a brokerage service we are interested in good valuation because our client pays us our fee based on the appraisal certificate. So the higher appraised value the better for you and me.

Our client does not allow us to valuate names. We must use a third party service he trusts. To avoid mistakes he (his name is Nakagami ) asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers to our client:
thenamepros. com/Archive/201754396.htm

It will also help us to avoid cheap services and low valuation results. If you have any questions regarding the best appraisal service for us feel free to contact me.

Please bear in mind, if the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly.

After you send us the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we’ll continue the process. Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with our client. Web site is not necessary.

I got this email and he sent me the names of the companies he wanted me to use. I told him my domains are through Go-daddy and that is where I would get them evaluated also I tol him that the only way i would sell is through Go-daddy auctions. He didn’t want to do things the legal way and he never contacted me again.

Well guys, it seems robert-sedlacek@name-business.com is another affiliate scammer.

Here’s the 1st email:

Hello,

We have a customer who is interested in this domain. Please email us your price.

Our client is even ready to split escrow and transfer fees.

He is also looking for easy-to-remember names with different extensions for his new domain-reselling business.

So if you have other names for sale please email us your list with prices.

Can we get your answer this week if possible?

If you are not interested we will look for other domains.

You are invited to make an offer via that avenue. You are in possession of our sale price considerations and we wish you success in your endeavors.

I see, but it’s a standard practice to show independent valuation to buyers/resellers. Nobody will do business without it. I’m a businessman and have no intention of changing rules which help both parties to avoid additional risks.

Of course, investors never take into account auto-generated valuations. So manual valuation is a “must” too.

I read the following information about appraisals at:

thenamepros. com/Archive/93726051.htm

Without the independent valuation from a trusted source we don’t spend a penny. This is our financial policy. So our offer is just a rought estimate. If the appraisal comes higher we are ready to offer a bit more. If it comes lower we will discuss the price with you again.

Thank you for understanding. I’m looking forward to doing business with you.

REPLY

James Zielinski

I do not have an auto generated appraisal or otherwise that I have or will offer. I recommend you get an appraisal done for yourself. Standard practice, I am all too familiar with. My price has been provided for in the Sedo platform. It is entirely at your discretion and cost if you want to quantify my sales price. Regardless of your appraisal outcome my position and price is clear and unmovable. If you are interested in ANY domain name I possess I will provide a my sale price and opportunity, it will be your responsibility to satisfy your own necessity and if a manual produced appraisal satisfies your needs I recommend you follow your own advise. I fail to see how it affects my stated position as it will have absolutely no bearing or possibility of reduction in any event. Good luck in future negotiations.

I’m glad my information helped you out! There are SO MANY scams out there that I think it’s impossible for the authorities to handle it all. The only thing we can do is exactly what we are doing, which is sharing our letters and warning others.

James Maurer… you’re the man for starting this site… or whoever you are!

I almost paid for domain evaluations but it all seemed kinda fishy to me. I had place some domains on Sedo to just see if anyone was interested in them and received this series of emails about one of them. I then started googling domain appraisal scam and this site was the FIRST one I looked at… thank god! I had actually already put my credit card info in to submit the domain appraisals but hadn’t hit submit yet!!! Shew!!!

Is there anything I can do about this? Can I report the guy… which I’m sure is using a fake name but maybe report his mail domain as a scammer?

Here it is…

I got almost the identical one as Al on August 1, 2010, except I was offered 12000 USD and the purchaser’s “budget” was “35000 USD”. He also used a different name.

I told him I would use SEDO as an appraisal company, to which he replied that SEDO was unacceptable and gave a bunch of nonsensical reasons.

When I told him that since all he needed to get an appraisal was the domain name and he didn’t need me for that, and, therefore, he was free to use whatever company he liked, I never heard from him again.

Daniel Goncalves tried to scam me with his come-ons and offers of higher money since his suggested domain appraiser raised the value. I bought it hook line and sinker, except, I charged it to American Express and they reversed the charges.

This is one I got today for the domain pcroomhire.com. These people are pretty smart, they go after domains that may have some value.

Dear $$$$$$

Thank you contacting us, I hereby confirm we have received your interest in selling the requested domain.
We find your asking price interesting and are open for a negotiation.

As an industry standard with all domain transitions, we require 2 things in order to initiate a purchase:

1. A proof that you are the legitimate owner of the domain.
This can either be:
– A screenshot from your domain registant; you may blank out all infomation, except the domain.
– An url to your domain with a custom message proving you are the legitimate owner of the domain.

2. An officially certified domain appraisal, not older than 3 months.
The domain valuation determine a fair selling price based on accurate valuation analysis.
If you haven’t made a certified appraisal for this domain yet, we recommend Praisal, as the most trusted and cheapest domain appraiser in the domain broker industry. Get your appraisal here

When you have both things, please forward them to me and we start the transition process.

Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It’s very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust.

Can you accept 1,000 USD?

Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?

But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust.

I was already contacted by an individual regarding your domain. His partner
was interested in purchasing. He asked for valuation certificate. I’ve
already sent him your appraisal link upon receiving his request.

Of course, I cannot list your names with brokers and auctions since I’m not
the owner.

I’m going to use your valuation in my promotio? Is it ok with you?

I think if you list your domains with several brokers and auctions it will
help us. Many buyers prefer to buy through auction sites or domain brokers.
Moreover, many brokers help with transfer. I’m not the owner so I can only
use my database to promote your domains and I cannot list. As the owner, you
can list your domains on eBay, Amazon and DomainExplorer. Please don’t forget to send your
auction links.

If you list domains with DomainExplorer.org we can avoid the brokerage fee
(10% at Sedo.com). DomainExplorer does not charge commission upon sale
and offers free escrow. So we can save up to 10%-15%.

———————

DomainExplorer.org is a SCAM!!! The letter is designed to direct you to the scam using associating trusted names such as Amazon and eBay!

we are interested to buy your domain name [my domain name] and offer 65% of the appraised market value.
As of now we accept appraisals from either one of the following leading appraisal companies:

sedo.com
pddomains.com
